Gaming Boot Camp @ Monash University in Melbourne

+ [Recap by Dox!] +

To summarise everything I said in chat after arriving home:

- The event was fantastic.
- Their media/infrastructure were fantastic.
- The people were on the ball too.
- They played so much awesome retro gaming music in the downtime. During my game they started playing Secret of Mana music and I seriously just melted. Freaking awesome.
- Unfortunately someone tripped a power cable somewhere and the SC2 had to be cut short. This wasn't their fault though, and shouldn't be heavily criticised for it.
- TargA won the showmatch and scored himself a very nice motherboard (eBay $$!).
- Hocus and I commentated half of a TvT before the power went out. Was fun!
- Timmay (Level 3) was an absolute champion. Very helpful, even when he was busy filming, he made time for us.
- Awesome girl in green dress (forgot to ask her name) who was running the SC2 side of things was really switched on. It was nice to attend an event and find someone who really knew what they were doing / talking about.
- They interviewed me about SC2SEA, eSports and our role in promoting/building the SEA competitive scene. I think the footage will be on the next episode of their show.
- They REALLY love eSports.
- They shamelessly plugged SC2SEA like crazy. They were wonderful.
- Return the favour by checking out their site/show at http://level3.org.au!
- The event itself was so sick. The cosplay competitions, the crowd, the general vibe of the venue was just so exciting! This was so much more than anything I've ever seen at a WCGau grand final. This was crowds screaming like you saw at NASL and MLG recently.
- We traded business cards.
- We're going to work together to host some local events in the future, they're very keen on partnering with me.

The SC2 Event will begin at 1pm on the 13th of July, 2011 at the Clayton Campus and will be streamed at http://www.livestream.com/gamescamp.

Level 3 is Melbourne’s video game review show that airs on C31 at 10:30pm Mondays, and Sydney's TVS at Tuesdays 9:30pm. They have invited the top Melbourne Starcraft & members of the sc2sea community to attend this live event. This will be an awesome opportunity for all casual and competitive Melbourne starcrafters to come watch the best Starcraft 2 players in Melbourne as well as meet fellow sc2sea members in person! There is likely to be pro vs pro matches or a mini tournament as well to keep things interesting. A call of duty tournament will be held there as well and the whole event will be live streamed to over 150k viewers, with part of the starcraft footage to be used for the TV show they produce.

If you'll like to come just post in this thread and i will update the list so you can know who you're talking to there haha

~1pm:
Exhibition match of some kind, probably a 2v2 of some kind infront of main audience, with commentary. Will be streamed live.

~3-3:30 till ~6:00:
The students finish their workshops and presentations, and will get a chance to play with the best in Melbourne. This will also likely be live streamed, if not, filmed for the show. During the gap there might be interviews from players if they are happy to talk on camera. There will also likely to be a few pro vs pro matches to keep things interesting but the extent to which we do that is limited by the time it takes to complete each match.
